#tdp s6 title puzzle

[self-spaghettification]

Ok, might as well throw my two cents on this poem (what hasn’t been said already)

Gnash your teeth, O Dragon Fierce!/Night's not far away/In the sky that watchful eye/Does weep and stare and pierce

Night being “not far away” is in of itself extremely foreboding and we’ve got a lot of other concerning uses of night, like “stars all swallowed up” by the corrupted sun forge in After Darkness, in the Bookery how the banthers only came out at night, 6x03 being called Moonless Night, etc.

“While one may say it ends with a sunrise, another will insist it ends at nightfall. ” (swallowed sun) (falling stars) / Karim's "the rising sun is now a falling star” from here

This stanza to me read as about Sol Regem.

We also have the “watchful eye” in the sky which reminds me of how Sol’s eyes are potentially being healed?

Tho- I also like the possibility that the eye is the weeping moon and it connects strongly with the poster that we’ve just received (ON THE SAME DAY.) and The hopeless dragon could also be Luna, and it reflects her power being siphoned and her death.

Currently thinking about how the poem could refer to both the past and present simultaneously, especially if it’s from the perspective from Aaravos who loves writing multiple layers into what he says (at least, looking at the reflections)

Sol Regem&Janai vs Luna&Aditi.

Anyway.

There’s a lot of grief and hopeless tone throughout the entire poem and it is not looking good at this point in the season considering 6x03 poem at least started out hopeful then veered towards doomed, 6x07 poem started out doomed. Love that for this season. Love that

BUT it does veer towards hopeful territory right at the end. Similar to a line from one of Aaravos’s reflections: “The long, dark night had finally passed—for the sun must always rise, mustn’t it?.”

Eight in a line, O Chosen Mine!/Ready for a war/Endlessly burning—/Hopelessly yearning—!/That love will triumph once more!

I saw speculation that 8 could be the number of key characters could be chess or the number of sources who knows, it could definitely makes a strong point for the pawn motif/aaravos pov, but who knows. I’m not gonna worry about that .

Endlessly burning is something I associate strongly with Aaravos—and we see him burning up things, like candles, how he killed Khessa, and the matching burn in the map at the start of the show that divides Xadia and the human kingdoms.

Simultaneously endless burning is also associated with the sun, and the Sunfire plotline as it is with the passions of humanity and how they burn themselves out like they’re their own candles of dark magic.

Hopelessly yearning is also interesting—because we once again see (narrative of) war and love contrasted and if this is from Aaravos’s perspective, he’s low key once again taunting.

Y’know how people say hopeless romantic-> it’s like there’s no hope for you, you’re done for. It reminds me of how he teases Ezran—he sees it as naivety, and it once again ties into a hopeless tone, but in a different sense, as hopeless romantic and hopelessly yearning have a better connotation than hopelessness overall.

Final note is if it’s red wedding. (First letters of each stanza backwards) RED? and either sol+karim and/or aaravos crashes the wedding I’ll be happy for the rest of the year thank you (for angsts sake)

Regardless of my hopes or speculation, though it definitely seems that this is going to be the episode where all the tensions come to fruition, and the SUNFIRE Civil War begins or comes to a climax if anything. Which Also makes me think the rest of the episodes leading up to this focus more heavily on the other characters and plot lines.👀

On a sidenote, I think it’s really funny that Devon signed her name is Devonius Ghiel and it’s the first thing that stuck out to me here

S6 E8 Title Puzzle: Wilting Flower Meta Post

This wilting flower + the ring around the rosy song is puzzle we got for the 6.08 title. Now, it's late, so this might not be very coherent.

TDP Official once used a wilting flower in a tweet

This was in response to when we received the assassins' names.

We see wilting flowers in the recent poster

Supposedly, this is happening at the Moon Nexus, and supposedly Aaravos is there. We also see spirits in the background.

I'm curious if the worlds between life and death are colliding? And the Moon Nexus is probably being destroyed ("ashes, ashes, we all fall down"). So perhaps the lotus flowers are wilting... because the barrier between life and death is gone, they are now one and the same, therefore the flowers wilting is basically an "Error! Cannot compute!" message.

So perhaps that's how Aaravos is broken free? If there are no barriers between the different dimensions, then he is free.

....... Callum, Claudia, what have you done?

Hello everyone and welcome to my tumblr!

My name is Lara, but on the internet I usually go by some variation of the name Luna Nightrider.

As you might have guessed from my handle I'm a huge How to train your Dragon fan, both the DreamWorks franchise and the book series. (If you haven't read them, what are you still doing here? Go and read them. Or even better, turn on those amazing audiobooks read by David Tennant!)

With The Dragon Prince: Book 6: Stars releasing last week I entirely stopped trying to get out of that rabbit hole again, my obsession of that story just runs too deep (don't mind me trying to decide whether to rewatch only s6, only arc2 or all of TDP next) And please don't ask me how often I've seen the show or individual seasons by now, I have no idea.

By now this blog has basically turned into a Dragon Prince fanblog so if you're interested in that franchise feel free to follow. I occasionally post about other stories or entirely off topic but it's mainly TDP.

If you want, you can follow me on fanfiction.net. I'm publishing How to train your Dragon stories on there. A few are in German, but most are English.

Or maybe you're more interested in AO3? I haven't posted anything yet but I'm planning to start cross-posting my stuff from ff.net there too.

You may also follow me on twitter, although nowadays I'm never active on there, except for liking posts by TDP official.

Under the cut will be my tagging system with a little explanation if needed

My biggest topic (and the only one worth to explain): The Dragon Prince

for the entire show: #tdp and #the dragon prince

for s1: #tdp s1 and #book 1 moon

for s2: #tdp s2 and #book 2 sky

for s3: #tdp s3 and #book 3 sun

for s4: #tdp s4 and #book 4 earth

for s5: #tdp s5 and #book 5 ocean

for s6: #tdp s6 and #book 6 stars

for s7: #tdp s7 and #book 7 dark

for the credits: #end credits drawings

for the graphic novels: #through the moon, #bloodmoon huntress, #puzzle house, #dreamers nightmare

for the official short stories: #tdp reflections

each individual episode has its own tags with the following concept: #tdp 1x01, tdp 1x02, ..., tdp 6x09 (just insert the correct season and episode number) and #echoes of thunder, #what is done, ..., #stardust (the individual title varies obviously)

Sometimes I will tag individual characters. Since I don't usually do that as of now, I will add that later, once I've decided on one consistent way. I might also add things like locations, objects, spells, you name it.

If you want me to put specific tags and their explanation here, feel free to request them.
